A team of NUI Galway scientists have found that cells of the immune system have a previously undescribed ability. In a paper just published Journal of Cell Biology, the scientists describe the presence of primary cilia on immune cells. These antenna-like structures are found on almost all cell types in the body, but since the […]
Cystic Fibrosis discovery may lead to new treatment strategy to help patients breathe easier An international team of scientists led by UC San Francisco (UCSF), Professor of Medicine John Fahy, MD, and involving scientists from University College Dublin has discovered why mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) is thick, sticky and […]
A study undertaken by researchers at the University of Limerick has identified four distinct sleep profiles in 9-month old infants in Ireland indicating that mothers of infants in the poorer sleep profiles are more likely to report higher levels of stress and depression and poorer physical health. In data generated from the Growing Up in Ireland study, a […]
The molecule ‘blocks’ a key biological driver of inflammatory diseases. This discovery could inspire non-invasive treatments for a variety of inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, and Muckle-Wells syndrome. Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have uncovered a marvel molecule that blocks a key driver of inflammatory diseases. The finding could meet […]
